    My dad packed me this lunch last time I went to visit him, and it was delicious.

    The main ingredient was a tapenade: an olive spread that he made using kalmata olives, green spanish olives, garlic cloves, canned pimento peppers, and a couple tablespoons of olive oil thrown in a food processor (he said you can chop it and mix it together, it just takes longer. He put that in a little Tupperware and gave me some whole grain crackers to spread it on. It also tastes really good with some laughing cow light blue cheese wedges.

    I'll eat just eight or so crackers with a teaspoon of tapenade each and then bring yogurt, a salad, or fruit. Hope that helps...

    I typically eat a bag of veggies with homemade hummus, then vanilla Greek yogurt with all bran buds, then ill chose a tuna wrap (made with plain Greek yogurt and cottage cheese instead of mayo) or ill make a big pot of lentils on Sunday and take that instead of the wrap. Leftovers always work, or chicken wrap, I had a sweet potato today, or sometimes a salad with mixed greens, avocado, feta cheese olive oil and balsamic.

    This doesn't directly answer your question, but I do find it to be helpful. I found this link which kind of helps you vary up your meals and still have low calories. It didn't let me plug in the calories I WANTED to have, but their suggestions keep it low regardless. Just something fun if you wanted to check it out. Jenn :)
